PARAMOUNT THEATRE

“THE DUCHESS OF BUFFALO.” Admirers of Constance Taljmadge should go to the Paramount Theatre where this popular actress, as an American girl masquerading as a grand duchess in Russia, appears on the screen in her latest comedy drama. The picture, easily the star’s greatest, is to he seen for the last time to-night. Miss Talmadge is at her best in tlhis lavishly produced photoplay, directed by Sidney A. Franklin. She again demonstrates her flair for scintillating comedy and fast-action romance. No star wears fine clothes better than Constance, and her wardrobe in this picture is a revelation. The supports include the second series of Amundsen’s flight to ' the Pole, a gazette, and another amusing “Felix the Cat” cartoon, with a capital score of incidental music by the orchestra. TO-MORROW "THE WILDERNESS WOMAN.” Aileen Pringle, Lowell Sherman and Chester Conklin carry off all the acting honours in “The Wilderness Woman,” the new Robert Kane picture for First National, which will be I shown for the first time at the ParoI mount Theatre on Friday. Arthur j Stringer wrote the story. The picture offers Miss Pringle her first opportunity to break away from the queen and vampire type of role with which 1 she has been associated in the past, 1 and to reveal a hitherto covered talent 1 for comedy. As the Alaskan miner’s ' daughter, uncouth and unversed in * the ways of society, or even of mod- 1 oni society, who comes into violent 1 contact with the conventions in New . York Cit.y. she presents a figure at. * cnee amusing and appealing. Lowell J Sherman appears in the unconvcn- • tional role of the hero, while others who appear in this cast are Hcnrv 1 Uibart and Robert Cain. “The Wilderness Woman” was originally published in the “Saturday Evening Post.” It was adanted to the screen I bv Paul Bern and Paul Schofield. Much of tlie rompdv In it was injected t bv Hamilton Del Ruth, formerly aup- l ervisor of Mark Bennett comedies. The supporting hill consists nf a ems- ® ct.te, a scenic and a comedy. The j.
